sung. The program was in

Redman, Pocahontas
Plan Children's Party
Children of Pocahontas and
Redmen members will enjoy a
Christmas party at Redmen hall
this afternoon at 2 o'clock. All
Redmen and Pocahontas mem
bers are urged to bring their
children. In charge of arrange
ments are Lucille Anseth,
Velma Singler, Norma Martin,
Lois Fretwell and Gladys Rammin.
Carrying out its traditional
practice of spreading Yuletide
cheer to needy families, the
Salvation Army here will dis
tribute Christmas baskets of
food to many homes in Jackson
county Wednesday morning.
This activity of the Salvation
Army is made possible by con
tributions dropped in the fa
miliar kettles on street corners
and tins at various stores or
mailed directly to the hall at
Fourth and Bartlett streets. The
distribution of the baskets is
in charge of Adjutant and Mrs.
Charles K. Cox, executive offi
cers of the Salvation Army here.
The names of the needy fam
ilies are compiled carefully and
checked with other welfare
agencies to avert duplication,
Adjutant Cox pointed out.
"Santa Claus must not pass
up a single home in Jackson
county," Adjutant Cox declared.
Each basket, he said, will as
usual contain a bounteous sup
ply of food for a complete
Christmas dinner.
Scores of awkwardly scribbled
notes addressed by poor chil
dren to Santa Claus find their
way each year to the Salvation
Army where they receive close
attention. Adjutant Cox related. I
But it is not from children alone !
that appeals are received, he I
added. As an example of letters I
received from aged and physi
cally handicapped men and I
women, he cited a letter from 1
a grandmother who asked the !
Salvation Army to remember
her seven motherless grandchil
dren at Christmas.
